General Scope of Agriculture


29 CFR 780.149 - Named practices as well as others must meet the requirements.

  • Section Number: 780.149
  • Section Name: Named practices as well as others must meet the requirements.

    The specific practices named in section 3(f) must, like any others, 
be performed by a farmer or on a farm as an incident to or in 
conjunction with such farming operations, for this condition applies to 
``any'' practices brought within the secondary meaning of agriculture as 
defined in that section of the Act. Thus the preparation for market, by 
a farmer's employees on a farm of animals to be sold at a livestock 
auction is not within section 3(f) if animals from other farmers and 
other farms are also handled. The practice is not performed as an 
incident to or in conjunction with ``such'' farming operations, that is, 
the operations of the farmer by whom, or of the farm on which, the 
livestock is raised (Mitchell v. Hunt, 263 F. 2d 913).
